The Glock 23 Gen4 delivers compact .40 S&W performance with Gen4 updates, including the RTF texture with three finger grooves, a modular backstrap interface, and a large, reversible magazine catch. This example is Austrian-made with the Glock, Inc., Smyrna, GA importer marking.
Both slide and frame wear a uniform flat dark earth/tan finish. The 4.02-inch steel barrel, striker-fired Safe Action system, and short-recoil, locked-breech operation reflect the classic Glock design. Capacity is 13+1, and two Glock factory double-stack magazines are included.
Metal three-dot night sights are installed, with a single-lamp front and two-lamp rear for low-light aiming. The extractor serves as a loaded chamber indicator, complementing the Safe Action system.
Practical features include the Glock universal accessory rail with a single slot for lights or similar accessories, and the extractor-based loaded chamber indicator for quick status checks. The upgraded backplate adds a distinct visual touch with a custom Grim Reaper engraving.
